NV Dog Jack.

From 50. Nicholas for March.
One OF the officers OF the post had ten
or dozen large greyhounds. Notwith-
Standing its size the greyhound, when
alone, is an aTrant coward, unless cor
nered; then it becomes dangerous an
tag0nist.
Jack was a coward, too, but he knew
by instinct that a single greyhound was
even a greater coward than himself; and
when one of the hounds would stroll alOnp
by the house, it was ludicrOus to see tn
little scamp rush out duiverlng with eX-
element and barking as If he would eat
Mir. Greyhound. Invariably the grey
bound would turn tail and run. Jack
would follow a few steps and then return
with a look in his face which plainly said,
"Did you ever see such cowardp
But one day Jack was taking walk
with me on the parade ground down to-
ward the lake and some distance from the
house. All at once the whole pack OF
hounds, as ii urged by one common i'm
uIlse to get even with him for the indig-
Mites he had heaped upon them singly,
started in body for Jack. At first he
did not notice them, but when be did, in
ste ad of coming TO me for protection, he
turned and STRUCK out for home in tue
usual manner, with his tail between his
legs and with the usual accompaniment
of howls. How he did run! lie was
running this time for his life, and he
knew it. He looked like n tiny yellow
speck as he scampered toward the house
The pack OF hounds Keeplng we'll together
gained on him at every jump. Twice
thought they had him and halt turned
away my head; but, no! he doubkad on
them and fairly flew in another direction.
The hounds could not turn as quickly al
be could and fell over one another in their
attempts TO do 30. AS Jack reached the
terrace In front OF the quarters he flew
into the house through the open door, safe! !!
The door was closed by my wIie-whO had
been watching the desperate race-just
as the hounds met in body over bOy's
straw hat that was lying upon the grass
before the door. In about two seconds
there was nothing left of that hat; it was
torn into ribbons before they found out it
wasn't Jack, after all! But from that
time, Jack was not on speaking terms
with anV of those hounda.

On Thursday afternoon at DemOnicos
a broad -shoudered and pleasant-looking

ion that convinced me that the man was
in for it at once. And he was in for il
with vengeance. There are few girls
with big black eyes who can afford to look
around a room where men are sitting
without appearing to do 1t for effect. In
a minute after the DelmOnicO girl had
taken her seat every eve within range
was fixed upOn her, and she chatted and
smirked after fashion that was all too
familiar even in a city like New YORK,
where there is less public flirting on the
part of women, as far as my own observa-
ton goes, than aGy othor citJ IL the Union,
excepting New Orleans. The man who
was with her was not conscious at frs
of the sly look ana bold stares which she
cast around, for though her eyes spoke,
she did not smile, nor bestOw too much
attention in one quarter. The escort
seemed to be having rather a pleasan,
time up to the point where his suspicious
were aroused, and then by degrees he be-
came the most ahJectly miserable crea-
vture have ever seen. First he looked
around uneasily, then sullenly and finally
resentfully. But he was dealing with
rather a cultivated lot OF men at that sort
of thing, and they all of them stared al
him coldly or were apparently looking
over his head. Then he became surly and
answered the woman snAppishly, while
she went on with her brilliant series OF
gIances. Presently she looked out of the
window and masher who was strolllng
idly by caught the look that she threw at
MIN and stopped abruptly in his walk and
stared back. Apparently he was not the
man to allow anything of that sort to 60

many women of entire respectability and

without saying, of course, that any

is monstrously cruel, for the agony she

are as well known 10 the patrons OF the
place as the walters themselves. As q
rule they are not men of pronounced
physical attractions, and they dress
quietly and unostentatiously, They
spend their money literally, and their
success is entirely due to the sort Of a
reputation that such men get among
women. Every one has some sort OF claim
to celebrity. This quiet little man with
the scar across his forehead and the
alert eve which he moves from face to
face as he takes his seat in his favOrite
restaurant was shot in a duel in Panama
two years ago; the sallOw and austere
masher who sits opposite him figured as
the correspondent in celebrated divorce
suit; another has gained a reputation as
a spendthrift by throwing half a million
dollars to the dogs in the course of two
years, and so on intermlnably. Every
masher has his story, and the women
chatter and talk about them all with
ceaseess interest. They are an unhappy
looking lot of wretches, and perhaps the
most despicable body of men on tAe face
OF the earth; for who can admire man
VINO does nothing IN life but eat and drink
and whose only ambition is to destroy the
happiness OF other and ADLER men who
work for their living down town and do
not attempt to stab their friends behind
their backs.
New York could well spare the dreary
crew Of prIgs and pups who glory in the
title of mashers. BLAKELY HALL.

BALM FOR BALDHEADs.
Muck from Kentucky Marsh That
VIII Make Hair Grow.

~ 1OA fAOtAt ~ I'VE
Will Make Hair Grow.
The Galveston (Tex.) News prints the
following dispatch: The quiet town of
Princeton, KY, is in a wild state of ex-
element over the discovery of a muck
from a marshy fiat that restores hair to
TIE baldest OF baldheads.
About three miles from Princeton, on
the Wilson warehouse road, in a bend of
the stevens creek, ts low, marshy fat.
about an acre In size. The earth is OF a
9reenish color, and no weed or grass OF
any kind was ever known to grow in it,
and during the dryest season Is
always wet. Its wonderful power
WAS discovered In a very comical
manner. Old Uncle Peter Black, a
native of the Donaldson district,
came to town last August, election
day, and according to his habit with
jOvial friends, drank too much red
whisky. Late that evening, after having
imbibed as much blue ruin as he could
navigate with, he saddled his old gray
mule and attempted to wend his way
home. When the rider and old mule came
to the creek, either by the Obstinacy of
the mule or by some mystic hand, the old
animal went into the marsh and split
Uncle Pete. The soft, damp earth proved
a soothing calm TO the bald, aching head
OF the o!d man, and the excitement of the
Gay WAS soon forgotten IN ureamlesS
sleep, from which he was awakened next
morning by the heat of the sun, to find
half OF his head and left side covered with
mud. About two weeks after the acci-
dent Uncle Pete found that all that part
OF bis body that had been covered with
mud was covered with a fine growth OF
young hair.
st. Valentines day he came to town
and showed TO a NUMBER OF our most
prominent men a luxuriant growth OF
hair three and a half inches IN length,
covering the LETT side and half OF his head.
At first his story was laughed at, but
since bald head is a source OF great an
noyance to the owner, also a very lumi-
nous object at church and prayer-meet.
ings, few that were sensitive on the loss
OF hair began to view it in q different
light. For the past two weeks about
twenty are wearing skull caps, inlaid
with this muck. Yesterday several took
of their caps, and, 10 their great Joy and
happiness, their heads were covered with
tine growth OF young hair, but unfortu-
nately 1t was as red as beef.
Thepwner or the marsh has had 10 in.
closed by high plank fence, aud sella
the muck at 80 a pound, and the demand
Is becoming 80 great that he can scarcely
till all the orders.

he looked wildly around, but the waiter
was getting the check made out at the
further end of the room, so he sank back
in his chair while the woman tried to
struggle into her tight little JACKET. There
is no doubt that the escort would have
helped her, or the waiter would have
given her a'hand, but both OF them were
looking in opposite directions. and so
CONTIGUOUS masher arose and performed
the office with deftness ana charming
ease while the escort sat and glowered at
hlra. There was long wait for the
change, and finally the pair walked out,
the woman Dying the men on every side
as she strolled along, and the man with
his hands rammed into his pockets, his
brows bent, the picture OF abject misery
and misfortune, and yet / would wager
a hat that no better fellow nor
charming companion could DO found in
tue town than he. Alas for the woman
who flirts.
IL is curious that women who are
naturally considerate and kindly In their
treatment Of men should descend to such
schemes as these, but that they do must
have been observed by the most obtuse OF
men. The reason there Is little Of what
10 known as street filtration In New York
is on account Of tho settled convictions
